This Father’s Day, we’re celebrating Fun Dads<\/a>! There are dads and then there are <\/span>fun dads<\/span><\/i>. Fun dads have an extra cheesy dad joke for every situation. They make matching family T-shirts, show off their dance moves when they chaperone prom, and get overly competitive on game night (especially during high-stakes Candyland). There\u2019s no rope swing too high, no rollercoaster too fast, and no such thing as too much ice cream for these \u201cbig kids.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Show the \u2018fun dad\u2019 in your life how much you appreciate his willingness to go the extra mile to bring a smile to his kid’s faces. On Father\u2019s Day, tackle these activities with same childlike enthusiasm that he would.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fun Father\u2019s Day Activities for the Whole Family<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Cornhole Tournament<\/span><\/h3>\n

For the competitive dad who likes to spend time outside, spice up your father\u2019s day BBQ with a cornhole tournament. A cornhole set makes a great gift for the dad who likes to host friends and neighbors while he grills. Invite other dads in the neighborhood over to celebrate. If cornhole isn\u2019t his jam, consider other classic lawn games like ladder toss, horseshoes, or croquet. <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Roller Rink<\/span><\/h3>\n

Give him the gift he really wants: the chance to embarrass his kids in public. Take dad back to middle school and plan a family trip to a roller rink. Cheesy pop music, bright lights, and a disco ball are all a \u2018fun dad\u2019 needs to get his roller-groove on!<\/span><\/p>\n

3. The World\u2019s Largest\u2026<\/span><\/h3>\n

Is dad the one who can\u2019t go on a road trip without stopping at every advertised attraction? Whether it\u2019s a national historic site or the largest ball of yarn, indulge his childlike curiosity by finding your nearest, weirdest, wildest roadside attraction and take the family on a mini road trip. Get dinner in the town or city you\u2019re visiting and toast his adventurous side!<\/p>\n

4. \u2018Dad Movie\u2019 Marathon<\/span><\/h3>\n

What\u2019s his poison? Spaghetti westerns? 80\u2019s classics? Die Hard? Cheesy horror movies? Show your love for dad by enduring three of his absolute \u201cworst\u201d favorites. In addition to popping popcorn, have a selection of classic movie theater snacks on hand like Milk Duds, Raisinettes, and Dots. If you want to really knock his socks off, present the family with matching pajamas so you can lounge in style!<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Trampoline Park<\/span><\/h3>\n

For the families with little ones, trampoline parks are guaranteed to tire them out! Trampoline parks are large indoor spaces covered in wall-to-wall trampolines. Many have separate areas for adults and older kids and little ones. Take the family for a day of jumping around. You\u2019ll be surprised by how much fun you have!<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Arcade<\/span><\/h3>\n

For the fun dad who is a gamer at heart, visit an arcade on Father\u2019s Day. He\u2019ll love getting competitive with his favorite little buddies. There are plenty of \u2018Chuck-E-Cheese\u2019 alternatives these days. For example, Dave and Buster\u2019s is a chain restaurant and sports bar with a \u2018Friday\u2019s\u2019 feel that also has arcade games. This way mom and dad can take a break from gaming and enjoy a drink while the kids keep themselves amused! <\/span><\/p>\n

7. Outside-the-Box Mini Golf<\/span><\/h3>\n

Did you know that mini golf isn\u2019t mini golf anymore? While the classic shoot-a-golfball-through-the-windmill is a blast, now there are a lot of variations on the family favorite. You can play indoor glow-golf, virtual golf, or go to a new kind of driving range called \u2018Topgolf\u2019 where you can rent a bay by the hour and enjoy cocktails, food, and games. <\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of an exciting day of celebrating and family fun, dad\u2019s going to want to relax. Surprise him with a new robe<\/a> or a comfy pajama set<\/a> before he settles in for the night. <\/span>For more gift ideas or inspiration for family activities, visit us at <\/span><\/i>thepajamacompany.com\/blog<\/span><\/i><\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
